Seems like I need to provide a few more clarifications!

HSV – Holden Special Vehicle, a General Motors Holden “Commodore” – the king of the road! The “burnout champion":
Ashmore Reef – Usual first landfall for illegal immigrants coming by boat from Asia and trying to seek refuge in Australia as asylum seekers.
I created this blog to talk about my home region. I've used many images, including archival images but mostly I've used my own images.

Are they going to allow the asylum seekers stay or send them back?
Many eventually are allowed to stay, some get sent back (for various reasons) others go home on their own accord.
Thanks for all the terminologies! I love learning about what you're actually saying, haha.

Hope the Queenslanders are starting to dry out. Haven't heard a lot on the TV lately.
I will be talking "aussie" like a native soon me old cobber!
ps whats a cobber?
Cobber is an old term - not used much these days - Australian and NZ informal a friend; mate: used as a term of address to males
[from dialect cob - to take a liking to someone]
'Mate' is more commonly used these days, mainly 'cos (I believe) the phonetics and inflections placed on it in its use can have wider applications and meanings.
